My therapist gave me homework and I decided to write it out on here.
She told me to write a letter to "God, or the universe, or whatever" saying specifically what it is that I need in a job.
It seems a bit hokey, but I am willing to give it a go.
Okay, so:
Dear God, the universe, or whatever,
I want a job with meaning.
I want a job with value.
I want a job where I am valued.
I want to be able to use my strengths and creativity.
I want to write and teach and communicate as part of my actual job.
I want to be able to think abstractly and create new solutions.
I want to create.
I want my input to be recognized as valid.
I want to feel essential.
I want my job to challenge me while giving me the support I need to be successful.
I want co-workers that I can bond with and become close to.
I want a boss that I can respect.
And though money is not the most important thing in the world to me, I would like to be fairly compensated for my efforts.
I want to get beyond "hand to mouth."
I want a job that pays me well enough that I can start saving money.
I want a job that pays well enough to stop borrowing money from my parents.
I want a job that enables me to explore and travel the world.
I want a job that gives me the freedom to really live my life.
I want to feel like I am moving forward.
I want to feel like what I do matters.
I want a job that makes use of my potential.
Oh, and health benefits and paid time off would be really great too.
Love,
Ryan
